Newborn Photographer — Chicago, IL

TK Photography Chicago is seeking a gentle, skilled Newborn Photographer to join our growing team. As the largest photography company in Chicago with over 10 years in business, we handle all client communication, scheduling, editing, and gallery delivery — you simply show up, shoot, and upload.

In this role you will travel to clients' homes across Chicago and the surrounding suburbs — from Evanston to Oak Park, from Naperville to the North Shore — to photograph newborns in their first days and weeks of life. Sessions are typically 2–3 hours and involve posed and lifestyle-style newborn work. Props, wraps, and posing guidance are provided. We will train you on our posing and safety protocols even if you already have newborn experience, because consistency matters to our clients.

Safety is the absolute top priority in newborn photography. Comfort handling fragile infants, an instinct for safe posing, and an ability to stay calm under pressure are non-negotiable. Parents will be present and often anxious — your warmth and communication will put them at ease and make the session a joyful experience.

Experience with off-camera flash and window light for indoor residential sessions is a plus. You must be comfortable working in variable home environments — small spaces, different lighting conditions, pets, and toddler siblings. Reliable transportation across the Chicagoland area is required.

Because our editing team handles all post-processing, you never have to spend late nights retouching or culling. Your sole responsibility is creating beautiful images in-session. We schedule sessions and communicate with clients on your behalf, so you can focus entirely on your craft.

If you are passionate about newborn photography, care deeply about infant safety, and want to be part of Chicago's most established photography team, we want to hear from you.
